About what sold the PS2 :
BRANDNAME and insane marketing
All is said.
what about the dreamcast ?
DC was cheaper, DC had more games, DC had better games
so why DC failed ?
- bad marketing, not enought
- poor start
- less fan userbase
- inferior brandname compared to Sony/Ninty.
PS2 killed the Xbox BEFORE the Xbox was released. GTA were able to push even farther the console in US but it can't explain why the Xbox failed in PAL
(PAL is the KEY territory since it is easy to succeed in US (all consoles sell in US where it is not true for PAL))
Time to Work !
